If I Can't Have You... (An EXO fan fiction)

Chapter Five

"You may need to stay in the same dorm with the EXO members.", one of the two men-in-black explained to me. My eyes blinked twice the speed of its normal rate.

"W...what do you mean? How is this possible?", I asked with a raised volume. I can't imagine myself under the same roof with eight BOYS I barely knew.

"Yes, we all have discussed and it was for the best. By residing with them, it would be easier to reach you if we do need your assistance. Moreover, staying in your own house is not an option because we wouldn't know what would happen or what you would expose to the outer world on the information you have on the members and their affairs.", he said as-a-matter-of-factly. I couldn't believe my ears. Did they just accuse me just because of the odds they calculated out of paranoia?

"Then, can I just stay at other SM dorms? Especially an all-GIRL dorm? As you can see, I am a GIRL and how do you suppose I stay with eight boys? Who knows what would happen behind closed doors?!", I was starting to get pissed.

"I'm afraid that is not possible. We couldn't cause another mishap by letting other groups know about your association to SM Entertainment. As you know, you've never had any kinds of training from the SM agency and we feel that it is unfair for other groups to let an unexperienced employee reside with them. I'm afraid they wouldn't tolerate it, especially when they're exhausted from their rehearsals and jobs, they would feel pressured towards a stranger who shares nothing in common.", another hurtful fact uttered by him. I felt like getting a slap and I realized that I got this job out of pure luck. I let out a long sigh and nodded halfheartedly.

I left the room first and wonder what did I do to deserve this? Was this God's punishment for me being unsociable during my high school era? What exactly was His plan by setting me up with this tangled business? Why did He choose me? My brain just wouldn't wrap up to this circumstance.

I went back to the rehearsal room I last saw the boys and the music was blaring. I took a peek from the window on the door. They were rehearsing the dance moves to Love Me Right. The room was filled with sighs of fatigue, but they kept dancing with a smile on their face. Each move was flawless, and it made me wanted groove along.

I got lost in my daydream that I didn't notice the music stopped and one by one they walked towards the door. I quickly ran to the corner of the room and hid behind the wall that sectioned the room. I took another peek.

"We all did good today!", Suho clapped and the other members followed along and some of them cheered on.

"Ya, what should we eat for tonight?", Chanyeol asked.

"All you think about is food!", Chen scolded with a playful tone,"but actually I'm craving for some jjajangmyeon.", he added. Chanyeol wrapped his neck around his arms and choked him playfully. I smiled at the view.

"Okay, let's all wash up and go back to the dorm to have some jjajangmyeon! You all worked hard today!", Suho said the last words and the members started to walk away. Suho was the last to walk away and I watched his back. He was sweating so much and he was wearing a white t-shirt. He looked flawless, with his back so broad and the vibe he was spreading was so inviting.

"What are you doing here?", a voice behind me called. I jumped a little and I quickly erased my thoughts and turned my head backwards. It was D.O.!

"N...nothing...", I shuffled awkwardly on my standing spot. I had that look when you caught someone red-handed. I was sure I had a small bead of sweat on my forehead.

"Were you peeking at us?", he asked with a smirk.

"N..no! Why would I do that? I was just passing by.", I made something up, "anyways, how did you get from there to here?"
